Intern in London with Absolute Internship

I did an Intership in a non-profit at Sapphire Employability and Wellbeing. I met the COO Nancy and the CEO Jasmine, two very inspiring women, with a lot of passion for what they are doing and a willingness to make the World a better place. I learned a lot, they let me manage a lot of task during the Internship since they trusted me. As far as experience with Absolute, Cortney and Emma, were wonderful, they mede us feel more as friends than work. They were there for us for every little problems.

Living in London was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. For two months, I immersed myself in a world of history, music, friendship, and entrepreneurship, creating memories that would stay with me forever. I spent my days exploring London's incredible museums and historic landmarks, and my nights discovering its vibrant nightlife with friends. One of the most unforgettable experiences was performing piano concerts at the top of The Shard every weekend for two months. Looking out over the London skyline while sharing my music with others was an extraordinary experience that combined my passion for music with the excitement of living in one of the world's greatest cities. I also had the opportunity to visit Stonehenge, standing among thousands of years of history and experiencing something I had previously only imagined. At the same time, I was building my own e-commerce business, digitally selling my inventions for the first time. While exploring a new country and experiencing incredible opportunities, I was also learning how to turn my ideas into products and share them with the world. Looking back, what made this experience so special was the combination of everything happening at once. I was discovering new cultures, meeting incredible people, performing music, exploring history, and building a business of my own. London changed the way I saw life. It showed me that I could pursue my creativity, build something meaningful, and experience the world beyond what I had ever imagined. Those two months gave me confidence, independence, and a renewed sense of possibility. It was a chapter filled with adventure, personal growth, and unforgettable experiences that helped shape the person I am today.

My summer in London, working for Shout Out UK through Absolute Internship, was a truly historic time in my life. Traveling across the world with my best friend and living beside her made the experience even more memorable. As two excited and ambitious young women, hungry for what the world had to offer, we navigated the paramount city of London. By embracing new cultures, pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones, and sleeping for the shortest bits of time, we created memories I will carry forever. Beyond the professional growth and hands-on experience with UK public policy, this journey allowed me to exit my head, gain further independence, and discover beautiful parts of myself. The structure of this program taught me adaptability, self-confidence, and how to embrace the unfamiliar. My experience was made more vibrant by connecting to new people from all parts of the world and learning about their stories and goals. The simple moments of sharing a chat, going grocery shopping, or impromptu trips to Spoons fulfilled me. Absolute Internship gave me more than an additional section on my resume; they handed me the experience of a lifetime, a new perspective on life, and a chapter of time that I can forever reminisce on.

This program opened my world to the possibilities of my future. Both professionally and socially. The program and my internship grew my personal confidence and provided the highlight of my life. I would recommend it to anyone considering.

My experience with Absolute Internship was quite literally life changing. They placed me in an internship (UK-ASEAN Business Council) which is exactly what i was looking to do then as a junior International Relations major. Little did I know, it would lead me to my career working for the British Government overseas. Thanks to Absolute's placement and the experience I gained working for UKABC for 8 weeks, I landed my dream job right out of college - covering sports and entertainment as a commercial officer for the British Consulate Los Angeles. I spent 6 years as a commercial officer (climbing the ranks) and was offered the opportunity to transition to policy work, earlier this year, for the Consulate covering culture, media and sport. I am the only person covering this sector outside of Whitehall in London which I am incredibly proud to be doing. That said, I literally would be where I am without Absolute Internship's program and opportunity for me.

Traveling alone was very scary, however, the team at Absolute Internship supported me through the entire process and made my London internship experience one that I wish I could re-live over and over.

Tilly has been very friendly and patient with me. The process was easy to follow and we are frequently in touch. I felt supported throughout the application and the internship. An overall smooth and enjoyable experience!

This internship was one of the greatest decisions of my life. Getting to meet all of these amazing people from all over the world and work closely with another culture for a few weeks was super enlightening and is an experience I wouldn’t trade for the world. The coordinators were super kind and helpful, allowing me to enjoy my trip and get the most out of my internship.

Absolute was present not only in finding us an internship but they also made sure we had activities planned for the weekends, including visiting other cities and different places in London. Overall would recommend for anyone who wants to not only gain professional experience but also for someone who wants to learn about different cultures and different countries.

If you are looking for an experience to immerse yourself in another culture while being in the workforce, this is the thing to do. London has amazing food and the people are extremely nice. Also, you will make a lot of friends.

I fell in love with London thanks to Absolute Internships. Not only did my placement manager, Tilly, find the perfect internship for me, but my onsite coordinators, Emma and Courtney, provided me with all the resources and support to take on London with peace of mind. Sure, I could have found an internship, housing, and figured out the visa process all by myself, but I would have been far too stressed, and the experience would have been tainted. Absolute ensures you get the most out of your time by helping you navigate your transition and the city, which is invaluable. Needless to say, I will be singing this company's praises for years to come!

From day one, I was impressed by the company’s efficient workflow and collaborative culture. My supervisor and colleagues were approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to guide me. Their mentorship helped me apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges, sharpening my problem-solving and communication abilities.

This was a great experience because I learned a lot of new skills in branding and marketing. Interning at Acumen Media gave me hands-on experience with real campaigns, and I felt trusted and supported by the team throughout. The working environment was creative, collaborative, and motivating. I had the chance to contribute to projects involving social media, content creation, and strategic planning. This internship helped me grow professionally and gave me real insight into how branding works in the media industry. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to gain practical experience in a dynamic and inspiring workplace.

I was super nervous coming into this as I had never done anything like it before, but the Absolute team made it easy and seamless. There was always something to do- whether it was a group dinner or a weekend trip, I was never bored. We had plenty of freedom to plan our own trips as well and I was able to make extremely valuable memories. I will never forget this experience and highly recommend!

The internship experience was amazing and everyone was so supportive. In the process of getting my visa I had a lot of help and also was kept up to date on every process as well when I was helped to find a host company. My host company was so sweet and kind as well. I was able to learn a lot from this experience and grow as a person and also in the professional workplace. There are many different countries you can do it in so I am sure there are many cultures you can explore. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable experience

My internship at SportInspired in London, facilitated by Absolute Internship, was a pivotal experience that significantly elevated my early career trajectory. Through this program, I collaborated with the SportInspired Finance team and CEO, using Microsoft 365 and Xero to streamline budget planning and execution while contributing to strategic, long-term business initiatives. The experience also allowed me to develop operational expertise by managing ten sports festivals that positively impacted over 500 children, 50 teachers, and 200 volunteers from underprivileged communities. These events promoted active lifestyles and fostered social connections through sports. Absolute Internship provided a unique platform for me to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic, multicultural environment, further strengthening my ability to navigate global challenges with a solutions-driven mindset.

Absolute Internship was the best way for me to get comfortable studying abroad. I had an amazing time getting to know people from around the world, seeing new landmarks, and becoming immersed in the culture of the United Kingdom. It has been great being able to have friends all around the world, I recommend Absolute to anyone who is looking to step outside their comfort zone and try something new.

London has truly allowed me to grow so much as a person. The people were amazing, and my group leader Sheyenne made this trip 10x easier by being so helpful and calm at all times. The program trips were so much fun and my favorite part of the entire experience!

I had the best time in London and our program coordinators did a fantastic job planning many different activities. My internship also gave me really good experience. Overall the trip was so fun and I made so many great memories.

I had the best time being an intern through Absolute Internship! They were incredibly accommodating and did everything to make sure you were matched with an internship that fits your values and interests. I was interning in London, which has a lengthy visa process, and everyone at Absolute was incredibly supportive and responsive. The Program Coordinators were super welcoming and had many fun dinners, activities, and trips planned. I would 100% recommend!
